All students can learn, however, not all students learn the same way. The key to learning and the most important part of any teachers job is helping students understand how they learn best. That is what I do well.

Hi! My name is Matt Hlavin. I am currently working on my Master's degree in Materials Science and Engineering. I would consider myself a lifelong learner. Education has always had a special place in my heart, and now I am excited to share my love for learning with you!

Update: I completed a two-month full-time guest teacher assignment teaching World Languages Spanish to high school students (9th-12th) Spanish 1/2/3. By utilizing a student-centered learning approach, cultural competence, and equitable teaching, I support students with pedagogy rooted in inquiry, hypothesis, information gathering, problem-solving, and action. I encourage all students to adopt an open-minded approach, and provide support to gifted students, students with disabilities, English Language Learners, and Multilanguage Learners with equity. "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." James Baldwin I am in my second year of grad school, pursuing a dual master's degree in K-8 Elementary Education and K-12 Special Education (Mild to Moderate Disabilities). With my education grad studies and BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), I synthesize creativity and best practices in education to find creative ways of supporting learners. My pursuit and purpose is to guide with compassion and enthusiasm. I encourage students to take ownership of their learning. By promoting student agency, students empower themselves to achieve in academic, social, emotional, and behavioral development. As an ADHD adult, I enjoy working with ADHD students and adults experiencing anxiety + depression. What is effortful for our neurodivergent brains is also our superpower! In my career, I have lived and worked in NYC as an editorial photographer, actor, and dancer. I lived in Berlin and pursued performance art + music while honing my communications skills in digital art + copywriting in Marketing. In Los Angeles, I succeeded as a commercial and theatrical actor. My skill set is suited for collaboration with all students to support and develop their passion for learning, exploration, and critical thinking. I live in southeastern Washington State and teach in northeastern Oregon and southeastern Washington State public school districts. I support students in the following subjects: Elementary School Reading Elementary School Math AP English High School English Middle School English Middle School Math Digital Media & Graphic Design Fine Arts & Filmmaking Creative Writing Study Skills & Organization German 1/2 Spanish 1/2/3 Spanish Language Arts English Language Learners English Language Development Algebra 1/2 Special Education (all subjects) High School Math "We all have ability.

As a dedicated tutor with a Bachelor's in Policy Studies from Lafayette College, I have experience helping students excel in subjects such as ACT preparation, Algebra, AP U.S. Government, Politics, and English Grammar. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive learning environment where students feel confident to ask questions and explore complex concepts. I believe that every student has unique strengths, and my goal is to tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. I am passionate about fostering academic success and inspiring a love for learning, which I achieve through engaging lessons and constructive feedback. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring new educational resources to enhance my teaching methods.

I am a PhD student at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. In 2025, I completed my Masters of Science student at Georgetown University studying Infectious Disease with a 4.0 GPA. In 2024, I graduated from Vanderbilt University with my bachelors degree as a triple major in Molecular and Cellular Biology, Political Science, and Communications of Science and Technology. While at Vanderbilt, I was a Teaching Assistant in both the Department of Biology where I taught Introduction to Biology, and the Department of Political Science where I worked with students studying Middle East Politics. In these roles, I directly engaged with students to enhance their comprehension of each subject, refine their written communication abilities, and bolster their note-taking and test-taking skills. I was also captain of Vanderbilt's Debate Team for two years and am extremely passionate about effective communication and respectful discourse. In this role, I taught college and elementary school students the art of argumentation and debate while emphasizing the significance of public speaking in contemporary society. While I am qualified to tutor a broad range of subjects and students, I am most passionate about tutoring mathematics and science. Through my experience as a high school tutor and college teaching assistant, I've directly observed the challenges students face in grasping these subjects, particularly at early education levels or among those with learning differences. Without sufficient practice and assistance, students can fall behind and lose their love of learning. I firmly believe that our natural curiosity and love of learning should be harnessed in the classroom, not dampened down. In pursuit of this, I encourage creative thinking and problem-solving and use various pedagogy techniques, such as active recall, to engage students in my classroom and tutoring sessions. I try to instill in all of my students that they are capable of great things and that learning is beautiful, because I truly believe that it is. I have been a tutor for over seven years, and have just reached my one-year anniversary with Varsity Tutors. I am excited to work with you and your child to unlock their fullest potential both inside and outside the classroom!
